"Teagan! Wait!"

Rodger frantically chased after his wife, confused and panicked. "You forgot your boa!"


Suddenly, Teagan stopped and turned to face her husband, eyes wide with horror. She could see the Ichor staining his handle, and her panic only worsened.


"I can't! I have to keep going! For the sake of both of us!" Teagan cried out. Her voice was shaky and faltering, like she could break out into tears at any moment.


Rodger simply stood there, holding the teacup's now Ichor-stained boa in his hands. He stayed silent, taking in her words. His thoughts were interrupted by Teagan taking a step closer to Rodger. "I'll find a cure for this, I promise," she says, forcing a smile as tears start to fall down her face, her makeup beginning to run. "Just know that I love you so much, no matter what happens to you or me. Got it?"


Rodger looked up at Teagan, his one eye wide with surprise. He hesitated for a moment before nodding.


"I love you too, Teagan. I really do. I believe in you."


Teagan nods, that smile never faltering as she turns to walk away.
